Church of St Mary the Virgin, Westonzoyland, 13th century Grade I listed church in Westonzoyland, England
The Church of St Mary the Virgin features a four-stage tower constructed around 1470 with an embattled parapet and quatrefoil arcading stone decorations.
The church building served as a temporary prison for 500 captured troops following the Battle of Sedgemoor, marking a significant moment in English military history.
Six bells within the church tower ring alongside decorative stone dragons, known as hunky punks, positioned at the corners of the structure.
The church maintains regular Sunday services at 10:30 AM and organizes weekly Tuesday coffee mornings for community gatherings at Main Road, Westonzoyland.
A dedicated corner inside the church commemorates local airmen who lost their lives in 1918, 1919, and during the early 1950s after World War II.
